Hi Folks,
I'm trying to find out what the Spanish word "facilista" means. I read some comics in Spanish and try to understand them. This one showed up in an old Calvin and Hobbes. It's not in any of the Spanish dictionaries I've checked. Can anybody help me?
Thanks!

Hope the link works. If so you can see that Calvin goes on to say that all his acquaintances (or maybe all his knowlege) are predetermined and therefore if bad things happen it isn't his fault.

One guess I had for "facilista" was lazy person? But that doesn't really fit.

For all the other Spanish comics I read, I have access to the English version too, but Calvin doesn't keep the two versions in synch.

You know, I also typed "facilista" into google and I got a bunch of Spanish sites and from one of them I'm getting the idea it might mean "easy". That's a word English speakers only use about women but I guess if it means "morally lax" it could apply to anybody. Present company excluded, of course!

A "facilista" is someone who does not want to make an effort to achieve things in life. They expect things to come easy to them. Like another user, I came to this site looking for a word in English to say "facilista," but none of the words suggested by other users seems to work for the meaning I am trying to convey. Any other ideas?
